Perspectives of Hospital Mortality of Intensive Cares in Public Urban Hospitals Manisa in Turkey, Based on a One-Year Review

摘要

Analysis of hospital mortality helps to assess the standards of health care delivery. The causes of death were coded according to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases. The causes of death were classified according to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). Chi square was used to analyze. All statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, Version 11?(SPSS). Of the 21,739 patients who were discharged, 300 (1.3%) died. Males constituted 60.7% and females 39.3%. The six most common ICD-10 chapters, IX, X, XIV, II, VI, and XI, included 76.4% of the total 300 deaths. Several important issues in intensive cares were raised. Disease specific characteristics, as well as functional and infrastructural inadequacies, were identified and provided evidence for defining priorities and strategies for improving the standards of nursing care. Effective transformation can promise better prospects.
